Is Dr Pepper in trouble with the old show cheers for using there theme song?
Probably not. There are two central agencies called ASCAP and BMI that manage the licensing of most kinds of music. When a song writer makes an agreement with ASCAP or BMI, then the agency collects royalties from the company and makes the payment to the author. In many cases, once the author has signed up with ASCAP or BMI, the author will have little knowledge or abilty to limit what songs are licensed to which companies. He'll get a check every month or quarter, and may never know where his music is being performed. If Cadbury Schweppes (the parent company pf Dr. Pepper) has paid the proper licensing fees, they are not in any trouble at all.
